I'm excited about playing a shadowrunner, leading a team of community generated runners who get a cut (imagine if it actually kicked back to your runners account). If they do the matrix right, you could data search SEAsource, Shadowland (Captain Chaos, Hatchetman,) The entire Nexus data haven at your disposal. I'll be happy If I can play a SR3 decker hiring a samurai and a shaman I met in conversations at bars like Club Penumbra or that ork underground spicy rib place with the strong brew to watch my back and get me to the access point. I want infiltration, athletics and electronics to be useful skills. We want to plan heists with elaborate gear: shadowruns. I'm not in it for a dungeon crawl, unless you give us Chicago as it goes to hell. But I'm not fussy, I just want to save up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) 1,500,000 for that Fairlight Excalibur and sleaze Aztechnology's glacier. But then it's probably off to the delta clinic for a move-by-wire system.

Marshall Parker and Sam Powell will collaborate on the music! That's right, the guys that made the music for the SNES and Genesis Shadowrun games, working together!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Wierd. I wonder how, I always found their music to be like Law and Order, seperate yet equal. Ah well. As long as I can walk into a dive bar with ruined pool tables while techno music yells "SCHATTENLAUF!" at me, I'll be happy.

It's a weird feeling.Usually, some time after I spend any significant amount of money in a fit of geekish glee, some form of doubt starts to creep in.Butin this case, they already have all my money, and with every update, I only feel better for having given it.

Well, yeah. We're still in the promises phase. Anything is possible. Considering the target platform, who's working on it, and their recent track record, we could just as likely get Shadowrun360 meets Angry Birds. We'll find out in 8 months I guess.

In fact, this game scope is much narrower than all previous rpgs released (Snes, Genesis and Sega CD). Its basicly a tactical combat game with some (linear) story to glue the missions together. Well, if it ends being like Shadow Watch but with Shadowrun Theme, I would happy already.

Let's start here--Shadowrun was never about the rules. It's about the game world. If you need proof, look at the 1st Edition rules. They were. . . lacking. But the world caught on and the rules improved. So we intend to be true to the world and take our rule cues from the 2nd and 3rd Editions. They best represent the 2050 era time frame. "

Well, I'm still on the fence about their description on how they plan to implement magic. Bringing back the mage/shaman divide is nice, but different astral worlds and mages recharging their power at ley lines?

So, if we factor in Shroedinger's Paypal donations, and also the fact that there's still 3 days on the clock, I think we can safely say that the 1.5 mil have been tagged and bagged.So, next up: Rumors and speculation on how they're gonna tie the SNES and Genesis games' plots together and tie them into their own plot! You know, the one we can't even begin to speculate about.First take: Someone turns out to be someone else's father. Also, a dragon is involved. Amnesia! That cute fox-girl? She's your sister, you perv. Harlequin knew all along....This is the point where I should hand the bartender the keys to my account.Was a fine scotch, though.

Well, we hit 1.5 Mill! Got a new update...And there's a new Stretch Goal for the last 3 days... 1.75 Mill.

If it's met?

Magical Ninjas!

Hehe.

Phys-Ads, that is.

And that's something that I, as a long time fan, LOVE about this project. They're not just "Adepts". They're Physical Adepts. They're Magical Ninja's. Because that's what they were back then. Hell, that's ALL they were back then. I appreciate that they branched out and become more than just "Magic Samurai", but it's fun to go back to the roots of the game.

So, we need to spread the word and see if we can reach *Checks Kickstarter*... $243,643 in the next 73 hours or so.
